(Undated) – Amazon workers are planning a worldwide strike from Black Friday to Cyber Monday. The strike is called “Make Amazon Pay,” and it seeks to hold Amazon accountable for what organizers describe as labor abuse, environmental degradation, and threats to democracy. UNI Global Union says thousands of demonstrators in more than 20 countries will participate in the strike.
Protests are also being planned in multiple countries. In a statement, Amazon defended the treatment of its workers, claiming to provide “great pay, great benefits, and great opportunities.”
